The assessment of the mechanical and physical properties of in situ timber (2022)
Thesis
Bather, M. The assessment of the mechanical and physical properties of in situ timber. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2947919

The estimation of the properties of in situ timber elements is an essential part of the structural appraisal of many existing buildings and structures around the world. Current methods of doing this are (i) inappropriate, as they utilise visual gradi... Read More about The assessment of the mechanical and physical properties of in situ timber.

Experimental study on the torsional mechanics of laminated structural glass beams (2022)
Thesis
Uheida, K. Experimental study on the torsional mechanics of laminated structural glass beams. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2967284

This thesis presents an experimental study on the torsional-mechanical behaviours of laminated structural glass beams. Glass structures are in increasing demand due to many favourable characteristics such as high compressive strength, flexibility, ae...
